Take nature breaks.
It's sometimes referred to as "nature therapy" or "green breaks," and it's grounded in the idea of biophilia—the innate connection humans have to nature.
When you step outside and immerse yourself in a natural setting, something magical happens.
Your mind clears, stress levels drop, and creativity flows.
It's a practice that doesn't require much—just a commitment to step away from the desk and into the fresh air.
If you haven’t watched my recent video, I speak on the concept of non-time, also known as insight time. A time block you can put into your schedule to separate yourself from creating and managing.
In this sacred space, you enable the default mode network in the brain to allow problems, questions, and life events to process in the back of your mind. Walking in nature is the perfect place to cultivate this creative function of the brain to promote eureka and insightful moments.
For me, these moments have been transformative—whether connecting with nature on long walks or a step outside in town.
It's not just about the break itself but what happens afterward.
